EmThey crossed over the border the Dhour before Emdawn
DMoving in lines through the Cmaj7day
GMost of our planes were destDroyed on the ground where they Amlay
EmWaiting for orders we Dheld in the Emwood
DWord from the front never cCmaj7ame
By Gevening the sound of the Dgunfire was miles aAmway
EAh softly we move through the shadows, slip aFmaj7way through the trees
CErossing their lines in the mists in the fields on our hFmaj7ands and our
knees
C And all that I Gever, C was able to Gsee E
Am G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7
Em The fire in the air, glowing red, silhouetting the smoke on the breeze
All summer they drove us back Dthrough the UkrEmaine
SmolDensk and Viasma soon Cmaj7fell
By Gautumn we stood with our Dbacks to the town of OrAmel
EmCloser and closer to DMoscow they Emcome
DRiding the wind like a Cmaj7bell
GGeneral Guderian Dstands at the crest of the Amhill
E Winter brought with her the rains, oceans of Fmaj7mud filled the roads
EGlueing the tracks of their tanks to the ground while the Fmaj7sky filled
with snow
C And all that I Gever, C was able to Gsee E
The fire in the Amair glowing rGed, silhouFmaj7etting the Gsnow on the bFmaj7reeze.
AmAhhhh, Gahhhh, Fmaj7ahhhhh x4
Am G
Fmaj7 In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures stagger through the
winter
Am G
Fmaj7 Falling back before the gates of Moscow, standing in the wings like an
avenger
And Amfar away behind their lines the Gpartisans are stirring in the Fmaj7
forest
Coming unexpAmectedly upon their Goutposts growing like a Fmaj7promise
You'll never Amknow, you'll never know which way to Gturn, which way to
look
you'll never Fmaj7see us
As we're Amstealing through the blackness of the Gnight, you'll never know
you'll never Fmaj7hear us
And the Gevening sings in a Fmaj7voice of amber the Edawn is surely Fmaj7coming
G Fmaj7 E Fmaj7
Em The morning road leads to Stalingrad and the sky is, softly humming
Two broken tigers on Dfire in the Emnight
DFlicker their souls to the Cmaj7wind
We Gwait in the lines for the Dfinal approach to beAmgin
It's been Emalmost four years that I've Dcarried a Emgun
At Dhome it will almost be Cmaj7spring
The Gflames of the tigers are Dlighting the road to BerAmlin
EAh, quickly we move through the ruins that Fmaj7bow to the ground
The Eold men and children they throw out to face us, they Fmaj7can't slow us
down
C And all that I Gever, C was able to Gsee E
The eyes of the Amcity are Gopening Fmaj7now it's the Gend of the Fmaj7dream
AmAhhh, Gahhh, Fmaj7ahhh x4
Am G
Fmaj7 I'm coming home, I'm coming home, you can taste it in the wind the war
is over
Am G
Fmaj7 And I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as we roll across the
border
Am G
Fmaj7 And they ask me of the time I was caught behind their lines and taken
prisoner
Am G
Fmaj7 They only held me for a day a lucky break, I say, they turn and listen
closer
I'll never Amknow, I'll never know why I was Gtaken from the line
and all the oFmaj7thers
To Amboard a special train and journey Gdeep into the heart of holy Fmaj7Russia
G Fmaj7 E
Fmaj7 And it's cold and damp in the transit camp and the air is still and
sullen
The Gpale sun of OcFmaj7tober whispers the Esnow will soon be Fmaj7coming
And I Gwonder when I'll beFmaj7 home again, and the Emorning answers, Fmaj7never
And the Gevening sighs and the Fmaj7steely Russian Eskies go on
Fmaj7 F
